I usually use somethinge like the following little function for getting an ISO timestamp. The
result is suitable for a PostgreSQL timestamp field (without special timezone).
# Subroutine for ISO-Timestamp
sub mydatetime
{
my ($time)=@_;
my ($sec,$min,$hou,$mday,$mon,$yea,$wday,$jday,$sz)=localtime($time);
if ($sec < 10) {$sec="0".$sec;}
if ($min < 10) {$min="0".$min;}
if ($hou < 10) {$hou="0".$hou;}
if ($mday < 10) {$mday="0".$mday;}
$mon++;
if ($mon < 10) {$mon="0".$mon;}
$yea=$yea+1900;
my $t=$yea."-".$mon."-".$mday." ".$hou.":".$min.":".$sec;
return $t;
}
Regards, Frank.
